Netanyahu orders security review of flights to Israel after Flydubai attack following co-pilot's attempted 'terrorist act'

This comes after an Omani co-pilot attempted to crash a Flydubai flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv, stabbing the Indian captain and trying to seize control of the aircraft.

The plane landed safely in Saudi Arabia after passengers and a reserve crew intervened.
